The guys break down how five years living above a factory in China, zero overseas supply chain, and algae-based materials led to a $60 shoe that nurses, doctors, and frontline workers are calling life-changing and why this launch couldn't come at a better moment with tariffs reshaping American manufacturing.  Then the crew pivots to the weekend's biggest sports story: the Fanatics Flag Football event in LA. Was it actually good? What does Logan Paul and Tom Brady's role say about the future of live sports entertainment?&amp;nbsp;  Plus: Jeff Bezos is raising $100 billion to re-enter the game through AI and robotics manufacturing &amp;nbsp;and why that might be the single biggest bullish signal for America's future. Anthropic's new free certification, Waymo going freeway-legal, Tesla Full Self-Driving, and why Sergey Brin showing up at an AI open meetup says everything.  And to close: life expectancy is actually up, fentanyl deaths are down 26%, and GLP-1s are going generic &amp;nbsp;so why does everyone feel like the world is ending?  A packed 996. Episode 1000 is coming.   \ud83c\udf81 EXCLUSIVE LISTENER DEAL \u2014 Ales Grey x Walmart BOGO  The Ales Grey Pro 3 is now live on Walmart.com 100% made in America, algae-based comfort, arch support built in, starting at $60.
